Spain's conservatives win general election
The People's Party of caretaker Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy won Spain's general election on June 26 as it rose to 136 seats from 123 in December while all other parties fell or were stable, preliminary data with 90% of the vote counted showed.
The Socialist party would obtain 86 seats, down from 90 in the inconclusive election that took place on Dec 20.
While a Podemos-led anti-austerity alliance would remain stable at 71 and newcomer liberal party Ciudadanos would fall to 32 seats from 40 previously.
